it does not take that freakening long to make a damn tote bag all you have to do is trace a pattern of how big you want it and copy the pattern onto cloth start sewing inside out and sew on the part to hold it with its so easy … its not rocket science

Hey, I’m Lex! This is my first YouTube video, weeee! A step by step tutorial for how to make a square bottom bag or purse. This basic tutorial can be used to make any size bag – a larger size makes a perfect reusable grocery shopping bag. Subscribe to my channel for more tutorial videos, or visit WhatTheCraft.com for tutorials, supply sources, and a complete guide to all things DiY and Handmade! Check out my designs at http
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve never sewed much before, only like one project in high school for sewing class. But I’ve been wanting to try make a bag with a flat bottom like this (only bigger) and this video makes everything soo clear!
Fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to record it for us.
Can I say I love you? You’ve made a great, detailed, and clear video! I would have never known this was your first video had you not mentioned it. Great job and thanks for the awesome tutorial!
OMG!!! I have looked through alot of your tutorials on whatthecraft and this is BY FAR my FAVORITE one! I cant wait to try this out! 8D
YAY! So easy! thank u!!
Great video. Love your style and sarcastic personality. Great to see cool young people doing crafty stuff. Will be visiting your website pronto!
thanks for sending me this video! Totally Inspiring(:
i am a beginner at sewing, and i made this today, with a few adjustments. it turned out beautifully! thank you so much for the tutorial! 
I wanted to let you know that your technique for turning the bag strap right side out helped me with another project where I have a skinny tube I need to turn right side out. Thank you, this video helped..
Thank you so so much
I followed your tutorial exactly except that I changed the overall dimensions of the bag. I can’t believe how nicely my bag turned out given that I hardly ever sew and I haven’t sewn in years. Thank you very, very much!
Your VO cracks me up.
@smarmyclothes
Zank you, you are an amazing person :3
@anuronali1 Thanks!
@xTheAnimalsx It won’t make the bag shorter if you’ve accounted for the gusset when drawing out the pattern. For example, if you want a bag that’s about 12″ x 10″ when it’s ‘open’, draw those dimensions first, and then add the gusset and seam allowances to the pattern.
wow u r simply too good . thank you very much
Do the gussets make the bag any shorter?
Or do they only make the bottom wider?
safe for helping me wit my hw
@jazzyblack01 Thank you! I’m using a quilter’s cotton (which is usually a majority of what you’ll find at most fabric stores), but you could also use something heavier like twill or canvas. Home dec fabric makes a nice sturdy bag. For bags, I’d stay away from anything stretchy or see thru… anything else is fair game. Not sure about hats, as I’ve never made one before!
Great video. You are too cool. I keep watching it. I love your teaching style. Your machine is cool too. I will be getting back into sewing, my problem is I don’t understand textiles. I’ve been told to go with what I feel but my projects don’t turn out so great. Were you using cotton and what other materials can be used for making handbags and hats? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. By the way, i’m self taught.
@forgetfulone2000 Thanks!!
Thank you! I just made one. You are a wonderful teacher. Easy step by step instructions.
@endorpha It’s like magic, isn’t it?
Thank you, I loved the tutorial. Now I get what’s going on, especially when you were sewing the lining onto the bag and then pulled it through, wow!
Cute bag and SUPER tute – one of the best I’ve seen! Your newest fan, Marguerita
